Whats the "Express" bit about? Vista on a partition on the harddisk already?

the express bit refers to the recent XP to Vista promo
Buy a XP laptop/desktop between sep and mar and get a "free" upgrade to vista when it is released
*free + £16 p&p
its just that its taking many weeks to get this from the supplier moduslink and isn't all that express
Thanks

LOL. this is vista! (this is spartan!)Just install CentOS.
I'm sticking with XP unless Vista and the rest of them work out those compatable issues which they seem to have. Also Vienna will be the daddy as it is built from the ground up.
vista was built from the ground up.

In my opinion it was rushed from the ground up more like (no offense) and I think this is another ME-XP classic in the making. This is of course my thoughts and views on this matter, does not make me right.
Reminds me of being in PCW baiting the staff as usual and the salesweasel going "windows me is so much more stable than windows 98" and me moving forward, moving the mouse and it BSOD'ing. He wasn't pleased...

Of course my bull-bar is safe, it sits so high the old people and the children go underneath.
lol.
I don't think vista is going to do an "ME". It has had a bit of slow start due to drivers and XP being as stable as it will ever be. Soon most PC's from Dell / HP will start shipping with Vista as standard and driver support will be better.
I've had vista on my laptop for three weeks now and other than a wireless issues (possibly duff router) it has been a positive experince.

Interesting - I have a new laptop shipped with Vista, and have a wireless issue too: when I turn the laptop on, the connection refuses to come up, and I have to go and repair it. My XP laptop has no problem with it, and once up it's fine, but it's getting annoying now.
The rest of Vista's ok, and some little bits are really nice (like breadcrumbs in folders, and DX10 games look awesome), but the access control is bloody annoying; the only real option is to turn it off, which kinda defeats the purpose of it.
I've been holding out on windows 2000 on my desktop until Vista had arrived, but now that it has, I'm not convinced that the hardware, drivers or Vista itself are ready to do a build-your-own that would last ~3 years (my pref lifespan for my desktops). And now there's a whole bunch of software that's XP/Vista only (Office 2007, CS3), I'm seriously considering upgrading my desktop to XP and leaving Vista for another year or so - seems a bit ridiculous, but I resent spending thousands on a half-baked solution that won't perform much better than the machine I have at the moment.
Mine connects ok but intermittently dies every now and again. Although, I did have my laptop on for two hours at uni yesterday and it didn't drop out once.
I'm pretty sure it is my router that is causing the problems. I've got an intel chipset wireless card on a Lenovo laptop.

Turn it off just for a single user (http://blogs.msdn.com/tims/archive/2...bling-uac.aspx)
The most annoying thing about Vista to date for me has been drivers. NVidia and HP in particular have been very very slow in realeasing decent drivers (if any).
